when dh and I was courting, we discussed adoption. it was important to me and he jumped on board then. last year, I said, we need to do this now and he again said its a great thing, lets do it. took the time off work to take the classes (thats huge for him) been supportive of getting things ready and getting the paperwork all done.
as for our kids, we've been honest w/them from the start, read books talked about it. they love having others around and thing loving and keeping kids safe and helping them while their parents need to work on things is a good idea.
